      Discriminatory Performance Evaluation Practice to Foreign Employees

      Pros

      Tons of company resources, great benefits, amazing infrastructure

      Cons

      This company lures foreign recruits to come work at their Korea HQ with competitive salaries. Unfortunately, they do not tell you that there is a double standard for performance evaluations. They never communicated this ahead of time. There was no transparency at all. Foreigners are evaluated at a higher standard because of their higher incomes. You want to hold foreigners at higher standard because of their higher pay? then give them a higher position that would be aligned with their salary so that they can deliver on higher expectations. This is discriminatory. Their bait and switch practice is very questionable and incredibly unfair

      Pros

      None!!!!!! Horrible place to work. Depressing and frustrating. Feel bad for some of the decent people who are still stuck there. Completely disassociated with how a business should be run. Management is so out of touch with how to do things and they're lack of knowledge for the departments they run is mind boggling! Like said no pros what so ever!

      Cons

      Everything! Especially the management and work environment. If your not Korean management your nothing. Employees are subjected to discrimination on a regular basis and the favoritism shown to Korean employees is obvious. No knowledge of how to solve problems in an appropriate manner just pass the buck along. Management never takes responsibility for anything and when problems arise the lower level employees get blamed.

      Korean Business Culture and issues--even in the USA offices

      Pros

      Budgets are available if you have an appropriate cause. Excellent benefits, especially health coverage. Good support for travel.

      Cons

      Money/Profit obsessed company (but that makes them successful) Lots of politics, meetings, and endless reports & reports of reports. Korean business culture and hierarchy, even in the USA. After hours drinking expected. Demands of managers or their bosses trump any customer request. Expect to drop everything when upper management from Korea visits. If you are not Korean, you will not make much progress. Use this company as a stepping stone. Management changes every year in December, so there is yearly turmoil and disorganization until the new boss settles in.
